Some notes of the armor: Before you can suit up, you need to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Prioritize knowing Him, and know His grace (Eph. 6:10). Nobody sends children into battle; be strong, be skilled in the Word of Righteousness (Heb. 5:13, 2 Tim. 3:16-17). Be sure […]
I didn’t realize how long I thought of adoption until looking back in my journal entries. It’s been since 2016, that God has been putting this on my heart. However, at the time of 2016 I wasn’t sure if adoption was something I just desired to do, or if it was God putting this on
